A lag shield anchor is what you want. It creates a sleeve inside the hole in your concrete with threads for a lag screw to grab onto. When the lag screw is inserted, it expands the shield inside the hole.

The installation process:

  • Drill appropriately sized hole with a hammer drill and masonry bit
  • Remove concrete dust
  • Tap lag shield anchor into hole
  • Insert lag screw into lag shield and tighten

The lag screw will still be removable, but keep in mind that many repeated removals and installs may eventually weaken the anchor.
